just a curiouse break question
On every vehicle I have ever done a break job, on all of them, the passenger side always wears out twice as fast as the drivers side. the question is.........................................why?... ...

Re: just a curiouse break question
Just a blind guess, but those brakes are farther from the master cylinder, so there is more fluid to move back when you release the brakes. Maybe they get hung up ever so slightly.
But then again, it's just a crazy guess.

Re: just a curiouse break question
my pass side rotor was cracked in 4 places but the drivers side rotor was fine. replaced both to be safe. seems that gm uses mexican metal for the rotors that wear faster and crack easier than say chinese metal.

Re: just a curiouse break question
pure coencidence, if it was anything to do with location of the master, and the distence from passenger to driver was great enough for doubble wear, then your back breaks would either never work or lock up, even with a prop valve

Re: just a curiouse break question
every now and then I will missspell a word, when I prof read it i usualy see that it is spelled wrong. Do I change it? unless it is a professional letter, no, as long as it gets the point accross. also, I like that fact that it bothers the crap out of some ppl becouse usualy they are very unforgiving and need to have their nerves gotten on.....lol
